The 2021 World Series: Braves vs. Astros

[AB in DC]

In any case, I can answer my own question -- Atlanta's regular fourth starter (Ynoa) is out for the season with a shoulder injury. I missed that.

 

[Harry Hooper]

Dansby Swanson, a name out of one of those Harelequin Romance novels.

 

[aksoxfan]

Ugh. Dorkhead in the crowd.

Eck would love his salad.

 

[staz]

Ugh. Dorkhead in the crowd.

Someone's gotta lead the chop.

 

[mauidano]

I really, really hate these in-game interviews...

 

[CoffeeNerdness]

23 year old in a 65 year old's body?

 

[BaseballJones]

He got it backward.

 

[boxosII]

i miss Jane and Ted

 

[InsideTheParker]

Dansby Swanson, a name out of one of those Harelequin Romance novels.

Not to mention his alabaster skin and raven hair!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[mauidano]

He got it backward.

Consider the source of the question...

 

[mauidano]

i miss Jane and Ted

Yeah, those were actually fun times.

 

[boxosII]

got the leadest runner he could

 

[rajendra82]

What a shitty umpire.

 

[mauidano]

Matt Damon doing cryptocurrency ads. Must be getting some serious coin for that.

 

[boxosII]

good defense really makes baseball click

 

[aksoxfan]

What a shitty umpire.

I hear the sky is blue.

 

[mauidano]

I hate that little shit. He is so fucking good.

 

[Sprowl]

Altuves: curiously strong middle infielders

 

[patinorange]

I hate that little shit. He is so fucking good.

He’s hit some really timely homers. I hate the Astros but have a hard time hating him.

 

[Ted Cox 4 president]

Joc hasn’t done much lately.

 

[rajendra82]

BABIP hating the Braves tonight.

 

[Deweys New Stance]

So this is gonna go just like the ALCS, huh?

 

[SemperFidelisSox]

Varitek catching Wakefield would be better than d’Arnaud.

 

[Ted Cox 4 president]

Both last night and tonight, d’Arnaud wasn’t helped by his infielders.

 

[mauidano]

Joc hasn’t done much lately.

Well he did fly his jeweler in from LA this morning with a new pearl necklace, soooo there's that...

 

[aksoxfan]

Ump helping Marwin.

 

[Sprowl]

Marwin if, if nothing else, buoyant. Waived in mid-season, picked up by eventual World Series team, and now getting a very tight strike zone.

 

[Harry Hooper]

Marwin fouls off a hittable breaking pitch on 2-2.

 

[mauidano]

Our old friend Marwin doing his thing.

 

[rajendra82]

We know this Marwin.

 

[rajendra82]

Coldplay time.

 

[boxosII]

Coldplay time.

it's never Coldplay time

 

[joe dokes]

Coldplay time.

I long for the days where a Timothy Leary could face a Jim Morrison.

[boxosII]

let's go Braves

 

[semsox]

Uhhh were we all aware that apparently Dusty Baker invented the high five? This just came to my attention during this game.

 

[aksoxfan]

About friggin time

 

[E5 Yaz]

Uhhh were we all aware that apparently Dusty Baker invented the high five? This just came to my attention during this game.

It would come as a surprise to Glenn Burke ... if he were still alive

 

[Ed Hillel]

Mighta been out at second.

 

[joe dokes]

Safe......nice throw from LF by the DH.

 

[Ed Hillel]

He came off the bag, but the tag was off. Safe.

 

[boxosII]

for once, laying down on the job pays off

 

[AB in DC]

Altuve should have held the tag

 

[Ed Hillel]

The hell was Correa doing on that play? He should be cutting that ball off.

 

[E5 Yaz]

The hell was Correa doing on that play?

Thinking how he'll look in pinstripes?

 

[Ed Hillel]

Troy O Leary magic?

 

[Ed Hillel]

Man, that was a hanger and a half.

 

[Ed Hillel]

Holy shit, that was even worse. If he can't hit that, what can he hit?

 

[joe dokes]

c'aught lo'oking

 

[boxosII]

gotta swing, anyway
